Honest question..who's left in the program. Adnan, Redish, Newton and two walkons. This is insane LOL!

Again we cannot afford it but he needs to be done. Unless something changes I will not be renewing my season tickets. I have had them for 10 years. Plus it's not like we have a large fan base. I can get them back whenever I want. Fire him now and bring in someone with winning on their resume. I will not give money to a University that does not care about winning. They renovate this place and for what? I will see what happens in the portal but I'm sure it will be terrible. We have 0 guys on the team right now that should start a D1 game.

Say it with me. Chobani Field House.

Are we talking/rumoring a real FIELD HOUSE here. More info RUMORS appreciated🤫.

I think any team at our level would be pleased with MJ on their roster. Good kid, tough defender, tireless motor….sorry to see him go….especially to THAT team.

Chuckle all they want. They picked up a boardline D1 player. Have not been to the tournament in 15 years. Lost to us by 30 last year. Their atheltic department as a whole is an absolute failure and could not even hold our jock strap.

It’s sad this crap continues in our game by fools like #16 on Merrimack. I’m glad that their AD did immediate investigation & kicked him out of the program postgame as well as apologized to our entire locker room. That team is pretty classless in both games we played them since they came to AE. They are leaving for MAC next year good riddance. You win national championships at D2 level act with some sort of class.

Watching roster construction around the AE is starting to feel like Fantasy Sports. We are in the 4th round of the draft after everyone selected their keepers - LOL

I just hope the dude blocks a couple shots a game..Sultan of Swat? It writes itself.

Have signed two rightside and two leftside Def. Ends AND will be signing three more LB's that are May graduate transfers. No names but they are looking at some good ones. Coaches tell me that most of the the teams in the league lost key players as well as us [so did Idaho by the way - our week three opponent - their QB among others]. Players want to come to UA becasue of last year's successes.

We have an onsite visit report "sighting". 6'7 kid from Iona coming up this weekend. Will be a sophomore, from London, U.K. and...shocker...he played HS ball in Philly. (Really good Catholic league school). Was pretty highly recruited out of high school. Played only 14mpg as a frosh averaging 3ppg and 3.2 RPG. Sultan Adewale His big offensive performances came against LBSU, Buffalo, Fairfield, St. Peter's, Rider, and St. Francis. Interesting player...a bit raw in some areas but he has some solid potential. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbgC69uJL2w https://twitter.com/SultanAdewale12

Until I find out about some problem with how he was treated by the coaching staff that warranted his leaving the team, I'll agree with dslyank on this one. Any player that would walk out on his team because he was punished for something or didn't like how things were going, instead of stepping up and being a man and correcting the issues and leading the team, has no spot on any roster of mine. I don't care if he is Michael Jordan talent wise. Someone who would walk out on the team is a cancer, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. The above said, that feeling is with the assumption that he quit because of game plan and/or because he was benched/punished for something. If there was some form of actual abuse from the coaching staff, then that is a completely different story that needs to be told for the good of the program and to make a change at the top. Until the whole story is out, he is just a weak quitter that needs to be gone.

That's what DVRs are for.

On your First paragraph, we will agree to disagree. I Never root for them, and never will.

In a game as artistically ugIy as you'd expect, I guess why they didn't want to play us - Albany scores 17 runs on only 10 hits, receiving 12 walks, 4 hit by pitch, and 7 errors by LCC. 17-12 final

Not sure the announcer for UMBC is a reliable source; but he was promoting the opposite several times yesterday. Claimed one or more of the league blue bloods could be on the outside looking in this year for the AmEast tournament. Not saying he is right, but he was praising the league heartily. On the other hand, while praising the current UMBC coach, he was saying UA and UMBC have played some of the greatest games of all time. Again not arguing that , but pretty sure many of the games he referenced were with UMBC former coach I believe. Personally, I cannot say if the league is weak or not this year, but it does seem pretty balanced overall, more so than ever perhaps. For a 5 or 6 year period UA pretty much crushed "everyone" in the league. No one has done that since or perhaps ever? So was the league weaker than or was UA just in a league by themselves ??

Who is the Jeannie ya'll speak of? And why was she in a bottle?

Next up... Margoupis gone...

If he had an Empire Scholarship isn't that just budget management? The kid goes for free, so why not spend the money on outside of NY players.

You guys like him more than I do. I thought is defense was good. Not great. Fouled a ton. Offensively, he can't create his own shot . Not a great shooter. He hustles. Which is great. To me and I understand its my opinion but he is a 10 minute player on a D1 team.

can not say since it is a rumor - verified by more than one source..................Just remember I said they were looking at a Big Ten Transfer QB.............before there was an offer or commitment........ Rumor has it that there MAY have been a Massive Donation to Athletics.......... That's All Folks..

Racism should never be ignored. Lyle did NOT ignore it, just let his play be his response; and obviously has talked about it often throughout the years to educate and teach. I am sure your quote was NOT condoning Racism, just commenting how the current players involved handled it. IMHO UA and the team pretty much handled it appropriately. Sometimes one must "walk softly and carry a big stick."

To his credit he's worked himself into a viable D1 player but he will always be a good role player. Which is perfectly fine

And we got a non-realasable penalty because of it!!!! Sad!

DK better find a PG or this season is dead on arrival.

MAAC Golf Championship results Since the Crosstown Challenge rematch was cancelled, Albany completes the entire academic year undefeated over the Loudonville school

The game announcer acknowledged the UAlbany contingent and their ability to make themselves heard. Shout out to the moms, dads and families of UAlbany MLAX.

I agree. I think they go into MAAC next year. Very poor decision by America East leadership to take them in for these 2 years. Interesting aspect yesterday was that audio (outside of the announcer) was clearly from the UAlbany section.

Merrimack is a huge game . Great danes win would be sole possession of first. A Merrimack win would be a messy 6 way tie at 4-2

Thomas back to Rhode Island...ge's gone gone!

Myles (has a really fast pass release) and Trey (very loose) are both looking good. There is a walk on too, don't have the name yet. Freshman can really throw the ball! BTW Reece was visiting the last couple of days. #2 from what I hear!! UA had 4 on official visits at practice yesterday, 2 DB, LB and Punter.

Money is likely to move the needle for both, that's about it.

With those two back you have something almost no matter what. However a freshman that averaged 3 points a game (even though could very much improve) does very very little to move the needle for Thomas and Marshall. Would need to bring in high level senior talent for a shot to have them come back.

Can we rename this thread college basketball free agency 2024??

I know it's a common assumption that once a kid is in portal he's gone but if he can re-recruit Thomas and or Marshall you have something here.

Sultan Adewale has committed.

There are so many kids in the portal everywhere, it is absolutely not sustainable. 40% of players in the MVC are in the portal for example. Transfer Portal

I would say at this point ....no one on the team right now would start on a .500 D1 team. Not one. I believe there are 13 D1 scholarships. If im a D1 coach at this level I'm recruiting Jr's and Srs only. Freshman and sophomores are younger , less developed and will leave before they reach their development.

Congrats champ! I almost had you...but my boys didn't come through. Last time I pick Boiler anything on any contest.

Maybe it's a generational thing. To me it has to be the no "I" in team and the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back. Sure, go get yours when the season is done. Do what you have to do to be successful, but in the season your teammates are your family. Your coaches are your parents. There may be discipline and tough love, but it's only to make you a better person and player. Sure your brothers might piss you off, but you have a commitment to them to remain family and overcome challenges together. To quit when the going gets tough means you are weak and putting yourself before your family. It takes a pretty abusive relationship to make leaving your family in a bad place acceptable.

Editorial: I wish Scott Marr would take a harder look at the times he schedules a game. Sadly, the game conflicts with the NCAA MBB Tournament, which has turn out to be an interesting tournament. Further, ticketholders will need to dress warmly as the sun will set shortly after the start of the game. You can add another reason to why I may go from a three-sport ticket holder to zero ticket holder and no GDAC donations. I am so absolutely frustrated with our sports administrators and coaches for what seems an increasing laundry list of reasons. About Bryant MLAX w/l 6-3 overall and 2-1 in conference. The Bulldogs are a dangerous team. Apr 6 (Sat) 7:00 PM AE vs Bryant Albany, N.Y. Bob Ford Field at Tom & Mary Casey Stadium Watch Live Live Stats Fan Program Tickets History

Thanks. Appreciate it. One in a row!

Congrats to John. Until next year.......

I would love to have been a fly on the wall to hear Beagle's interview: "... I abandoned my team mid season, when they had a chance to compete for a top 4 spot in their league....yes I was in the portal last year and yes UA took me back when no one wanted me...I am NOT a pussy, just don't like being double teamed all the time, because UA did not have another big to take some of the pressure off me...the pressure was so awful, I had to get away from basketball for awhile... I know at Richmond (or add any other team here who already rejected this BS) "I" will be a Star player for you, as long as you have another BIG to help me with the pressure...." 😝🤪😜

So, clack, do i want my pick Purdue to win, or UConn so you don’t win this thing…..

ASP has a story on Beagle's transfer to Richmond, likewise, only wishing him the best. Jonathan has decided to put the Capital District in the rear-view mirror. My gut tells me the same thing about the 2024-2025 season. Killings was lucky last season, however, sometimes luck runs out. As for season ticketholder, there will be fewer, including myself, as Killings and Mark/Vic have turned me off completely.

Whitney had his worst game of the year for sure thought he might get yanked in first half looked bad was guessing not reacting. He should have caught Enders pass clean it was not that bad & he still time to either move forward or run around crease. Felt really bad for Enders as he won that monster faceoff & should have given us an opportunity to win it.

Kikura, Thanks for the history lesson. Athletic Support ending in 91 would explain why most of the (8's) boats I rowed in (02-05) seemed like they were late 80's, early 90's boats (Thomas Whalen, Karen Hitchcock, I know I am missing one or two more) even the 4's were around that vintage Dirigio (name of the company not sure it every got a boat name) not sure how old the Kasper was (the all wooden boat). Thanks for the clarification. Hope to catch there first race this fall.

In my case, I’m a life long area resident and UA grad. I rooted for local teams. When at UA I joined the chorus and the team in green was a hated rival. But I never developed the lingering hatred and loathing many of you have. As the product of a mixed marriage (father a Yankee fan and mother’s family from eastern Mass) I became a Yankees fan, but never developed the hatred of all things Red Sox. And I was happy when they won the WS. Now NFL is another thing entirely. As a passionate Giants fan from early childhood, my heart burns with a hatred of anything Dallas, Philly and Washington. My wife tells me that this is unhealthy. Probably. When Union or RPI are doing well in hockey or football I’ll root for them too.

The thing is you don’t know is that UA DID try to move it … they tried but Vermont was already in town day before. Them getting down here Saturday would have been even tougher & more unsafe. There’s always behind the scenes administration stuff that goes on that not everyone is privy to. Stunk for UA fans but glad to be able watch from couch on miserable day. Bottom line is we got a HUGE W!
